Near the Cross

In the CD Near the Cross, baritone Wintley Phipps has handpicked favorite hymns by Fanny Crosby and performs against a backdrop of fresh symphonic arrangements from the 60-piece Prague Symphony. Listeners will enjoy 10 well-loved hymns from prolific composer Fanny Crosby (1820 1915), who has nearly 8,000 hymns to her credit and who was asked to use nearly 200 pseudonyms since she had so many songs in early hymnbooks. This uplifting CD is a great addition to any music library and can be used during times of personal devotions and praise, as background music for everyday activities, or for uplifting times of worship in a church setting.
